i have a 97 gt with tokico illumina shocks and lowering springs 2inches
i was wondering if i were to get 17x10.5 bullits in back, will they rub?
or i was wondering if i get 18x9 in front and 18x10 in back...would they rub?
i'm so worried about spending the money and having the rims rub because of my car being lowered.

you should be ok. some people rub on the quad shocks, but you can reverse them & it usually clears it up. that or, get some control arms & ditch them

Has anyone brought up the fact that the rim size doesnt matter, its the tire you put on it.
